As the fibre reinforced plastic composites gain larger and larger share in industry, the
problem of joining them with metal elements becomes significant. The current paper is the …

Accelerated curing of high performance fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites via
microwave heating or radiation, which can significantly reduce cure time and increase …

Drilling is the most important machining operation applicable to polymeric composite
materials since it is essential for mechanical coupling of parts. Drilling process provokes …

To reconcile the contradiction between the improvement of carbon fiber reinforced resin
matrix (CFRP) composite performance and the increase of manufacturing cost, this paper …

A lack of fundamental knowledge about the kinetic mechanisms governing the processing
and reprocessing of vitrimers forces a trial-and-error procedure to be adopted when …

The main purpose of this study is to provide a thorough experimental investigation of fatigue
damage mechanisms and evolution in thick carbon/epoxy laminate subjected to bending …

Aeronautical and aerospace industries require light and robust structures. This target can be
achieved designing isogrid structures made of composite material. In fact, such structures …

This paper focuses on revealing the evolution mechanism of micro curing residual stress
and its impacts on the mechanical responses of medium-temperature cured composites …

The damage mechanism of ultra-thick laminates widely used in aerospace and marine
industries was obviously different from that of thin laminates. However, compression testing …
